PEOPLE: - Eiji Aonuma, age 51. Zelda Franchise Supervisor for Hyrule Warriors. - Shigeru Miyamoto, age 61. Creator of Zelda, General Manager of Nintendo EAD. - Yosuke Hayashi, age 35. Development Producer for Hyrule Warriors. QUOTE: Aonuma: At first, when Hayashi-san approached me [about Hyrule Warriors], he wanted to make this title closer to a Zelda game than a Dynasty Warriors game—that extended to having boss battles in the dungeons and certain characters in the game. However, Mr. Miyamoto came along and up-ended the tea table, saying, “No, that should not be the case. What we’re doing here is grafting Zelda onto the Dynasty Warriors experience.” It was a reversal of the original proposal from Hayashi-san, which was adding elements of Dynasty Warriors onto the Zelda franchise. It ended up being the other way around based on Miyamoto’s direction.

Instead we decided [in Majora’s Mask] to present characters who weren't deeply explored in the previous games. We gave them different backgrounds and settings to capture the feelings of the people who voted for less popular characters [in Nintendo Dream’s popularity poll]. Q: Anju only got 6 points in our magazine’s rating contents, but she has one of the most involved sidequests doesn’t she?  Aonuma: That's the part where Mr. Koizumi put in the most effort [laughs]. Miyamoto: It was a full-power throw [laughs]. Koizumi: Well, um... I personally liked her a lot [laughs].

QUOTE: Aonuma: During the roundtable at E3, a reporter asked if we would use an orchestra for [Skyward Sword], and Mr. Miyamoto replied, "An orchestra suits The Legend of Zelda, so we'll be thinking about it." When I came back to Japan, Wakai-san came up to me in a fluster and said, "Is the music going to be orchestral this time?!" I was like, "No, I don't think so." Wakai: That's right! Aonuma: I only experienced recording one track with an orchestra for Twilight Princess, but it was a lot of work, so schedule-wise, I was certain we couldn't do it for the whole game. To my surprise, though, Miyamoto-san said, "Record it with an orchestra!"

I agree 1000% and I appreciate this articulation of it.

I think Miyamoto and by extension the Zelda team would agree with you (though whether they consistently lived up to this philosophy in games afterwards is debatable I think)

QUOTE: Aonuma: After finishing work on Ocarina of Time, Mr. Miyamoto instructed us to use the Ocarina of Time engine to create [Master Quest]—Ocarina's second version with rearranged dungeon gameplay. But, I felt that just changing around the puzzle solving without changing the overall structure was too limiting. I turned down Mr. Miyamoto's offer and proposed that if anything I wanted to make a new Zelda game. Now, Ura Zelda was developed for the Nintendo 64 disc system that was released only in Japan, and since I turned down this project other staff members developed it. It was finally bundled in the GameCube version of Ocarina and released as The Master Quest.

I can't elaborate on specifically how. [But] the reason you can pick up cats early in the game in Toaru Village, for example, is because we wanted people to understand you can touch the cats, you can play with them. After leaving that impression, it'll become easier for us as developers to have complex ideas afterward, where the players are willing to approach the animals."

QUOTE: "Koizumi: [Miyamoto] wanted to make [Ocarina of Time] a first-person game. In the beginning, he had the image that you are at first walking around in first-person, and when an enemy appeared, the screen would switch, Link would appear, and the battle would unfold from a side perspective. ... But—while it wasn't very nice of me toward Miyamoto-san—I didn't try a first-person scene even once! I was making the model for Link, so I couldn't stand to see my Link not appear." PEOPLE: - Eiji Aonuma, age 43. Director of Twilight Princess. QUOTE: "Aonuma: We tried changing the camera perspective [in Twilight Princess] from … third person to … first-person perspective in battle. For this prototype, all we did was change this perspective to the first-person view we currently had. We haven’t tweaked things like the spacing between Link and enemies, so it’s really awkward, but having played this version in first person, we didn’t think this was the most effective way of presenting battles. Link normally has a variety of movements, but when he enters into battle with his enemies, which has come to be known as core scene in Zelda, if that variety is lost, it feels very strange."

The phrase is, 'Zelda is a game that values reality over realism.' In the art world, realism is a movement to faithfully replicate the real world to whatever extent possible. Reality is not mimicking the real world, but rather making players feel like what they are experiencing is real. The big difference is that even exaggerated expression through toon-shading can be an effective means of making things feel more real."
